The last of the $1 SCs before $1 FRNs were introduced in 1963. It's cool that it's a replacement note, but there's not much value in it because of its condition.

@Johnsolaris, the 1957 blue seal star notes are really cool to find. My dad had a bunch of them even a set of 5 consecutive serial numbers, condition is everything (like Steve noted). Ones in circulated state don't have much value, ones in F and lower grade are usually worth only face. My dealer when he gets a lot of them will give them out as change. He has a large box filled with circulated silver certificates.

Still a cool find with lots of history. The story of the silver rush to redeem is a good read:

https://www.coinworld.com/news/pape...y-notes.html

In March 1964, Secretary of the Treasury C. Douglas Dillon halted redemption of silver certificates for silver dollar coins; during the following four years, silver certificates were redeemable in uncoined silver "granules". All redemption in silver ceased on June 24, 1968

Nice find, but agree it doesn't carry much of a premium.
